Permanent Address

"Daughter, wife, mother, bilingual cosmopolite, Lorna Knowles Blake understands from the inside 'dulce de leche,' teenage girls, and closing a summer house. But there's another kind of inwardness here, as Blake is drawn by memories and dreams into a private realm weighted with unsettling wisdom. 'Ordinary?' asks one poem, 'What does it mean?' The poems in PERMANENT ADDRESS encourage us to find answers to this deceptively mild question"
